Brake pads POWER STOP or Bosch
Powerstops, they don't have the performance capablities of the OE pads (which are actually Ferodo 2500 compound), nor their semi-trackworthiness, but there is absolutely nothing you can do on street to exceed their capabilites. Plus, no nasty brake dust
Swapped powerstop pads on to the fronts. Stopped the squeal, improved braking and now I have absolutely zero brake dust that used to be horrible with the original pads. The pads weren’t expensive, definitely worth it.
NO MORE BRAKE DUST! No squeaking or squealing, they actually seem to stop better.
I’ve used powerstop in the past no squeaks.
I put Powerstop Z23 pads on my 2022 3 a few months back. No issues at all.
I also have those Bosch pads on my Tundra and they are really good, quiet, low dust, excellent overall.
I think the Bosch pads work fine.
Power stop z23 pads been working well for me, seems like much less brake dust that oem
Can vouch for the Bluestuffs for track days. Bought a set of Power Stop Z26 and loved them for daily driving but burned through them after 1.5 days at the track... had to replace the rotors too after that.
I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.
The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.
The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.
